Commercial Licenses
Because of the restrictions imposed by the GPL license (you must make your code open-source), commercial users of Hoard can purchase non-GPL licenses through the University of Texas at Austin. Please consult this current Hoard pricing information (updated 2/5/2009), which lists a number of options for purchasing licenses, as well as Software license terms and conditions, and the software license agreement: note that the main UT-Austin licensing page always contains the most up-to-date documents.
To obtain a license, please contact Jitendra Jain or myself, Emery Berger.
